Isak, Newcastle’s Invisible Man, Eyes Liverpool…
Straight out of a soap opera fit for the Premier League, Newcastle’s owners might unwittingly become fairy godfathers to Liverpool! Al-Hilal, wielding the Saudi cash mountain like a wizard with golden powers, has zoomed its GPS on Darwin Nunez as its top striking sorcerer, thanks to an equally enchanted wallet held by the Saudi Public Investment Fund — which also runs the Magpies’ mystical clubhouse. Oh, the tangled web of football fate!
Darwin Nunez is in a dizzying limbo, like a striker caught between scoring a hat-trick and slipping on a banana peel. Al-Hilal’s gold-dusted offer could teleport him faster than a winger on a sugar rush to the Saudi sands. With Napoli ghosting Nunez like an ex-best-friend and Tottenham having moved on too, his prospects seem as thin as a goalpost’s coat of paint. Liverpool might just cash in on Nunez’s escapade to snag the shiny prize — aka Alexander Isak — for their trophy cabinet!
Meanwhile, Isak’s been pulling more tricks than a footballer in a circus, dodging Newcastle’s Asiatic tour and leaving Eddie “The Howe-some” Howe shaking his tactical manual. Poor Isak, sidelined by a magical mystery injury, yet his heart beats in Liverpool’s rhythm. Yet the Magpies’ boss demands allegiance, making training sound like an initiation into an elite club. Isak’s journey from Geordie tears to Scouser cheers seems to hinge on a deal worthy of a football fairy tale!
